Bonus Picture

This is a bonus picture for today. It is not an old picture, but I wanted to share it anyway. Spring has arrived in the Texas Hill Country. I saw this patch of bluebonnets outside my office today, and thought I would snap a picture and post it. If you have ever visited the Hill Country this time of year, there are rolling hills painted blue with these beautiful flowers. The flowers are native, and grow wild. They grow all winter, and then bloom at the first sign of spring.

Dina,Thank you for your note. When the wild flowers are at their peak this spring, I hope to make a day trip on a big circle through the Texas Hill Country, taking pictures of the beautiful countryside. Maybe the topic of a NEW blog some day. . .

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30
years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected
over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at
flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain
images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We
appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.
